Eggplant Night Owl Skin

My birthday yesterday was quiet at first cause me had bout of vertigo and headache – why aren’t sugar headaches sweet? Swegarache.

When I grow up, I’m gonna be an organism. What am I now? Wouldn’t you like to know!

I am officially 50. Can you believe it! Life is fantastic, and I am happy to be me with character creases that need ironing. It’s all good.

In the evening, I was feeling better and doing Spotify karaoke. I wasn’t planning on going anywhere, then Dee and Dre came over with a cake. They convinced me to go out so we ended up at The Keg. I had champagne, steak and lobster but was too tired for real karaoke after – it’s on our to do list.

“… with child!”

I heard a real someone say that the other day on the TTC and I couldn’t believe my ears! You know when you’re not really listening, but then you hear something that makes you tune in?

Many years ago these two guys I used to work with were speaking Romanian, and I heard my name. I didn’t understand anything else, but I know my name when I hear it. They were trying to figure out how to approach me for a threesome. Story for another time. Anyhow … I pulled out my weapon and said …

“I’m with 2×4! How bout I buss you upside your head for saying outdated shit?” I didn’t give him the opportunity to respond.

“Officer! I had to do it! He induced a hot flash!”

🎶

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I’ve been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand-new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her, she took my heart

Over the last several weeks, I’ve realized that volunteering is not for me. I’d rather contribute my money than my time. Hence, I will not be looking for volunteer opportunities anymore because I don’t want to disappoint anyone.

I’m working to ensure all my hair/skin care products come from cruelty-free, B Certified, fair trade companies – that way, I’m doing good things for my body and my planet and the living things on it.

So now … when I think about what I want to do, I think about how I want to do it. I want to contribute to good causes but not with my free time.

Jesus was chillin’ on the couch with me, eating a pepperoni pizza from Papa John’s while we tried to find something to watch on Prime and Netflix and Crave and Disney+ … while surfing the stream we got to talking about his Father.

“Bro! Your unearthly Dad’s a douchebag for the ages.”

“He’s just misunderstood.”

… to be continues 🙂

I got myself a new Clever Fox planner – purple is still my favourite skin colour, but all my efforts to turn purple have failed – 😨 – I ate much eggplant even though I am allergic, but here I am, a year later with a few purple blotches only … actually those are from my partner who is a domestic terrorist. Maybe I should thank him and encourage more blows.

Dear, sharks bite with their teeth. There are roses in Spanish Harlem, and eggplants don’t make good paper.
